@Anti-Matter I played DuckTales Remastered on the Wii U, which was a really good platformer. I wanna get to playing Castle of Illusion on my Sega Genesis Mini as well, I heard that one's great.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
Disney's Darkwing Duck on the NES is one of the best Disney Games ever! I like Aladdin too but Darkwing Duck is amazing!

In recent days, I keep seeing Switch OLED in stock for regular retail price on amazon UK. Which is shocking, because it's a very different story here in the US - you can't find the Switch OLED online at retailers or on amazon at retail price.
I've been looking for a week because my brother didn't decide to get one until AFTER black Friday. (It will be an xmas gift for the nieces). I knew as soon as he mentioned it, supply was not favorable - and that's putting it nicely.
@Tyranexx Having played through the game a fair bit, I'd recommend getting it on PC or otherwise, because it's a bit frustrating on Switch. It doesn't crash or have any bad glitches or anything like that, but loading times are quite slow and in some graphics-heavy areas (like the canteen area you're based in) the framerate takes a bit of a nosedive. So either get it on PC or on a PlayStation if that transpires in future. Switch isn't unplayable but a timesink.
Other than that the game is amazing. The voice acting is superb and the characters are very well written. The game isn't afraid to get its hands dirty, metaphorically speaking, so it's a very gritty, brutal kind of story. So far at least.
@Sunsy Ironically I showed it to a friend and they thought it was just "noise". Bah, humbug! The nuance is justified though, so lately I've tried to have a larger focus on ambience, so something I can listen to at night when I'm less fired up. Lately I've done a Doki Doki Literature Club song, plus the Final Hours theme from Majora's Mask.
@Vortexeo Me too man. It's been a very long few months, so I'm up for a break anytime soon. When do you finish up for winter break?
@WoomyNNYes Well quali wasn't even the beginning. Holy schnitzel that was wild. If I was fined a dollar for every time I swore I think I'd be in debt for twenty years, it was that bad. Max has truly stepped it up a new gear in terms of his driving.
I'm finally convinced that he's a literal psychopath.
@TheJGG My semester ends on December 15th so I'm almost there! This time of the year tends to be super stressful between school and my part-time job. I work at UPS and when December comes around we usually have to go in earlier because all the Christmas presents start coming in . So dealing with this and finals at the same time is exhausting lol. I'm probably gonna spoil myself once it's over haha.
@Vortexeo Do brits like @TheJGG know what UPS is? I'm sure I don't know the shipping companies in the UK. In case TheJGG doesn't know, UPS is a package shipping company.
Or maybe I stuck my nose in here, needlessly. Carry on!
@WoomyNNYes@Vortexeo Oh no, I know what UPS is. No need to worry though, this is a public forum after all. I wrap up on the seventeenth, so there's a bit more crunch to go until I'll be able to put my feet up for more than three days.
Have a nice day. Voiceactor: The Pirates! (Sony/Aardman 2012) - The Passion: A Brickfilm (Neema 2019) - The Torchlighters: The Story of John Newton (Vision Video 2022) - [NEW] Minno's Laugh and Grow Bible (Minno - 2024)
I worked at QVC one summer during college (Yes, that shopping channel). That was long ago, but back then, a UPS hub was down the road, and working at UPS had a very positive reputation. That was the pre-amazon age, though. I don't now what it's like this decade.
Also, this morning I scored a 𝕎ℍ𝕀𝕋𝔼 𝕊𝕎𝕀𝕋ℂℍ 𝕆𝕃𝔼𝔻 at Target!🌈🎄(Christmas gift for my nieces). If you go to target at opening, that's the time to look. Even if the glass Switch case is empty, you should ask the electronics employee if they have any stock. Both times I went, the employee was helpful. The first time, the empoyee said they expect more stock Dec 7 or 8. Today when I went, the employee confirmed they didn't have stock, but using their handheld device, they told me stock in surrounding stores. A few stores had one. But one store 15 miles away had 9 OLEDS. So, I went there. ...and got a white one (they only had white, but it's what I wanted)
...finally I can delete my browser bookmarks for nowinstock.net, best buy, amazon, target, store.nintendo.
@Snatcher@CactusMan well, I don't work as a driver so I don't know what it is like for them. (I work in the warehouse unloading and loading trucks.) Personally, I do like the job because they have tuition reimbursement which has really helped me significantly with paying for college. Not to mention it's much better than my previous customer service jobs lol. I do wish the breaks were a little longer because they're only 10 minutes. My shift goes through dinner time and since the break is so short it's impossible to eat anything lol.
@TheJGG Hang in there bud we're almost there! haha
...And so we've finally entered the time of year here where I look at the outdoor temp on my phone and characteristically say "Nope" to going outside. Which I definitely wouldn't do if not for work lol. (This also happens during the warmer months TBH, but not as frequently; I'm definitely WAY more heat-tolerant) Busy work week since part of it involves watching the live stream sessions of an educational conference. It's only today and tomorrow, but it's a LOT of screen time and a heck of a brain dump. X.X
@MarioLover92 You mean pine spears? XD Whether or not real vs. fake trees are economical depends on how they're handled IMO. Real trees are renewable if another is planted after their older fellow is cut down, and fallen trees, placed in the right spot, can make for a mini-habitat. Conversely, they can be moved long distances, which adds to emissions. Really depends lol. Box trees being better really depends on how long you own them, and they are at the end of the day made out of synthetic materials. :thinking_face: (Please don't take this as a criticism; I'm only musing for my own benefit at this point....Again, long day lol. )
On the phone: Thanks! I think I have everything set up now. It was mostly painless since I was able to do a direct transfer from my old phone, but I still had to sign into several of my longstanding accounts on there, including for here; I figured it would port my login credentials over as well. /shrug Not a big deal. I'm still learning about a few of its quirks however.
@Zuljaras Dude, LOVE that Phantump/Trevenant card! They're two of my favorite ghost types...and grass types for that matter.
@BruceCM It's a Pixel 5a, straight from our Google overlords. I very nearly went with a Pixel 6, but a nice price drop coupled with acceptable specs made the mid-end option slightly more attractive. It's still an improvement over my old Moto X4.
